What is going on with my username, MNHQ?

I changed my username to VisitTheInfidelWithExplanatoryPamphlets and have managed to post with that name once but it keeps going back to this username and dropping the "Pamphlets* :(

Afraid there's a character limit on nicknames which it looks like you've hit- so you'll have to abbreviate it somehow or think of a new name.

You've actually got both names assigned to your user account - that is, at some point you changed from 'VisitTheInfidelWithExplanatoryPamphlets' to 'VisitTheInfidelWithExplanatory', and your account is treating them as two separate user-names that you're switching between. Are you logging in and out a lot?

Spooky Confused

We've had a look and the full username is indeed ten characters longer than it should be, so there's some glitch in the system that has allowed you to register a too-long name but then keeps taking it away from you.

We've no idea how it's happened tbh but we'll have a look!

Just because I'm nosy, what's the story behind your NN? Why does the infidel have pamphlets? Tell me to bore off if you don't want to explain Grin

Have nothing useful to say about the glitch other than you clearly must be the Chosen One.

Sorry for the radio silence - we'll have another look for the pesky pamphlets
